    After reading responses I need to clarify, when I stated in the saddle I ment 11 hours in the drivers seat with no stops or cooling off tires or any breaks what so ever.

    I have zero issues with it, none at all.

    Ya, it's quite the grey area I'm seeing. No one has ever questioned me either. But then the way I log a pretrip, and a post trip, it may have been confusing enough no one wanted to deal with it, or, they actually understood. LOL
    Yepper, I've bought those supplements for the Ca. inspections and use them. I learned that one a long time ago. I had a US company tell me I didn't need to do that. They never did come up with the reason why not, so I just continued to do it. Better safe than pay a ticket. That could be why the MTO and DOT has never been concerned. I don't know, I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing until someone can definitively tell me different. :biggrin_25525:

    There's nothing suspicious about running 11 hours straight, provided you log odometer readings at the start and end of a shift. I drove 10.5 hours non stop today and logged 584 miles in a 62 mph truck. As previously stated: when you get into a rhythm, you don't want to stop.

    I never said it was suspicious, your imaginary friend must have whispered that in your ear.
